<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

After searching the area for 3 hours, following trails and noises, you finally encounter several groups of monsters.<br />
You notice that they have a leader, an alpha monster, a really big and ugly one, whatever you want to call it.<br />
The battle rages, you against the monsters. Your blows land true and you strike most of them down, while a few manage to flee.<br />
The big one is the last to fall, but after an exhausting fight you manage to take him down, too.<br />
In the lair of the big one, you find treasures worth a total of 2 gold, 3 silver.<br />

[[image:Decorative_o_floral_sm.gif|30px|Once upon a time]]nce upon a time in a far-away constitutional monarchy, lived three triplet brothers from the Noble House of Buffalkill. Their names were Willhelm, Xerxes, and a bastard named Johan. Willhelm was the elder of the three, Xerxes was the cadet, and Johan the middle. The Brothers Buffalkill were known throughout the West Hills and were never ſeen apart. Until, that is, one day when their mother ſaid that ſhe had a terrible ſecret to tell them. Johan, the middle triplet, was a bastard. Willhelm and Xerxes immediately drew their ſwords and tried to ſtrike the interloper Johan down. But Johan was a deft ſwordsman, and he bettered his brothers. He disarmed them handily, but the baseborn brother could not bring himself to deliver the death blow. He ran off and ſwore never to return. Lady Buffalkill ſcolded the two highborn brothers for allowing the bastard to get away. ſhe told them that if Johan ſhould ever return, they must kill him to protect her honour.<br />
<br />
==Origin==<br />
[[image:Heraldic_t_sm.gif|20px|The]]he two main branches of House Buffalkill are the [[Dwilight]] Buffalkills and the [[Atamara]] Buffalkills. Willhelm is patriarch of the [[Dwilight]] Buffalkills and the most ſenior member of the family. Xerxes is the patriarch of the cadet branch of the family on [[Atamara]].<br />
<br />
==Willhelm==<br />
[[Image:Earl Willhelm.jpg|left|220px|Earl Willhelm Buffalkill]]<br />
[[image:Heraldic_w_floral_sm.gif|20px|Willhelm]]illhelm began his career as a Knight in [[Aspar]], a region in the Duchy of the Berserk Bear, in the Realm of [[Asylon]]. He was appointed as [[Aspar|Earl of Aspar]] by Duke Græth Geg{{Executed}} following the fabled death of Lady Bucklefee Dundrave{{KIA}} in battle. He is a Visionary in the [[Cult of Bloodmoon]]. Earl Willhelm founded the [[In The Folds|Above The Fold]] newspaper as a way to create a common lore for the various peoples of [[Aspar]] and beyond. He is also a Collector in the [[Thesaurum Venari Guild]] where common adventurers are commissioned to gather unique and beautiful items that enhance their noble patrons' prestige.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[image:Heraldic_w_floral_sm.gif|20px|Willhelm]]illhelm has commanded a number of units, including a Harem of female bodyguards. He later raised an infantry of approximately 40 men styled the Devil's Brigade and fought on the side of Asylon against the forces of [[ſanguis Astroism]]. The [[Sanguis Astroism|Evil Theocrats]] were defeated, but it was a Pyrric victory. All but two of the Devil's Brigade ſoldiers were killed and Willhelm was ſeriously wounded at a battle in ſhuberstone. Also his longtime friend and lord, Lady Bucklefee Dundrave was ſtruck down, leaving the ſecond largest region in Asylon without a lord. Willhelm agreed to take up the lordship of Aspar, lest the region be plunged into anarchy and destabilize the realm, perhaps the [[Dwilight|continent]]. Willhelm filled the ranks of the Devil's Brigade with fresh recruits from the recruitment centre in Via before embarking on an ill-fated mission in the Traitor Realm of [[Phantaria]]. Whilst conducting routine land ſurveys in Phantaria, Earl Willhelm received word that monsters had invaded Aspar. Willhelm led his men acroß [[Vassar|Vaßar]] to the edge of the Gonophor woodlands, which was, at that time, under the dominion of the Zuma Coalition, a treacherous wasteland inhabited by hordes of monsters and undead. Ignoring the remonstrations of his unit captain, Earl Willhelm ordered the Devil's Brigade to croß Gonophor into Aspar. The men, who were mostly young and untested, were promptly dismembered, eaten, shat out, and eaten again by monsters, however Willhelm ſomehow escaped without injury and probably without ever drawing his ſword. Following that humiliating defeat, Willhelm recruited a replacement infantry unit ſtyled the Black Devils. The Black Devils were later set up as a regional militia to protect [[Walefishire]] during the Great Dwilight War for Religious Freedom, and raised a special forces unit styled the Freedom Fighters of Bedlam.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[image:Heraldic_w_floral_sm.gif|20px|Willhelm]]illhelm stood for election as Treasury Logothete. The incumbent Wulfric Lucifer would eventually win re-election, but Willhelm's greater purpose of giving the nobles a choice was served. Some time later, Willhelm again found himself risking the lives of his men by single-handedly staging an attack on the capital of Astrum. He was captured before having a chance to draw his sword and his men joined Astrum rather than face the dungeons. Upon his return to the Asylonian capital, Willhelm was asked by the king to take up the lordship of [[Kybcyell]], which he dutifully accepted. Soon enough Willhelm was called back to the front lines in the Great Dwilight War to fight Astrum. Just as the behemoth seemed ready to fall, the island of Dwilight became plagued by an invasion of monsters and undead. Massive hordes ran rampant across the regions of Asylon, and the war effort was suspended in order to eliminate the enemy within.<br />
<br />
=={{KIA}}Xerxes==<br />
[[Image:Xerxes Buffalkill.jpg|right|220px|Count Xerxes Buffalkill]]<br />
[[image:X_1_sm.gif|20px|Xerxes Buffalkill]]erxes Buffalkill began his career as a [[ſaradic|Knight of ſaradic]] in the [[Hawthorne|Realm of Hawthorne]]. [[Ap Gaenvan Family|His Majesty King Azreal ap Gaenvan]] offered him the lordship [[Agnilar]] after Xerxes distinguished himself in battle against the [[Heorot|Viking Realm of Heorot]]. Xerxes holds the rank of Acolyte in the [[Darkanism|Church of Darkanism]]. [[Ap Gaenvan Family|His Majesty King Azreal ap Gaenvan]] appointed Xerxes as Marshal of the Hawthorne Grand Company Army to put down a rebellion started under erstwhile Royal Marshal of Lyonesse Flint Camacho. The rebellion was handily put down by loyalist forces and the rebel leaders were chased out of Lyonesse. Xerxes subsequently was given a field promotion to the position of Royal Marshal of Lyonesse. His life was tragically cut short after deciding to personally lead his men into battle against the [[Barony of Makar]].<br />
<br />
==Ethelred==<br />
[[image:Decorateive E.gif|20px|Ethelred]]thelred began his career on the island of [[Beluaterra]] in the realm of [[Kindara]]. Upon learning of the [[Buffalkill Family/Death of Xerxes|death of Xerxes]], however, he boarded a ship to [[Atamara]] to pay homage to his hero cousin on behalf of all the Buffalkills.<br />
<br />
Ethelred found [[Atamara]] starkly different from the realm described in his cousin's letters. The realm was ruled by an insane brother and sister, and their [[Sir Glitterhoof|pet goat]]. King Azreal, the distinguished founder of [[Lyonesse]] was inexplicably absent. Nevertheless Ethelred believed it was his duty to honour his dead cousin and swear fealty to the reigning monarch. By then Queen Raziella was in the advanced stages of syphilis with onset megalomania, and behaving erratically. Support for Lyonesse was evapourating quickly as she alienated all of its allies and provoked armed conflict with the behemoth realm [[Darka]]. <br />
<br />
This marked the beginning of the end for Lyonesse. Darka made short work of Lyonesse, taking control of the capital in [[Hawthorne]] and leaving the fledgling realm to just [[Sale]] and [[Wispen]], two frozen backwater regions that no other realm wanted. Even then, Ethelred and a few other faithful nobles hoped against hope that they could rebuild the shattered kingdom. Then the ice daemons came. It was a wall of coldness slowly advancing from the northern sea and encasing the northern regions.<br />
<br />
It was then that Ethelred finally began to accept that [[Lyonesse]] was a doomed kingdom. He became disillusioned and despondent. The [[Lyonesse]] he had romanticized was a lie. He stood on the spot where his cousin had died for the last time, took a sip of top-shelf bloomoon juice, and poured the rest of the flagon into the ground. "I failed you Xerxes. Can you ever forgive me?"<br />

<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />

They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

[[image:Decorative_o_floral_sm.gif|30px|Once upon a time]]nce upon a time in a far-away constitutional monarchy, lived three triplet brothers from the Noble House of Buffalkill. Their names were Willhelm, Xerxes, and a bastard named Johan. Willhelm was the elder of the three, Xerxes was the cadet, and Johan the middle. The Brothers Buffalkill were known throughout the West Hills and were never ſeen apart. Until, that is, one day when their mother ſaid that ſhe had a terrible ſecret to tell them. Johan, the middle triplet, was a bastard. Willhelm and Xerxes immediately drew their ſwords and tried to ſtrike the interloper Johan down. But Johan was a deft ſwordsman, and he bettered his brothers. He disarmed them handily, but the baseborn brother could not bring himself to deliver the death blow. He ran off and ſwore never to return. Lady Buffalkill ſcolded the two highborn brothers for allowing the bastard to get away. ſhe told them that if Johan ſhould ever return, they must kill him to protect her honour.<br />
<br />
==Origin==<br />
[[image:Heraldic_t_sm.gif|20px|The]]he two main branches of House Buffalkill are the [[Dwilight]] Buffalkills and the [[Atamara]] Buffalkills. Willhelm is patriarch of the [[Dwilight]] Buffalkills and the most ſenior member of the family. Xerxes is the patriarch of the cadet branch of the family on [[Atamara]].<br />
<br />
==Willhelm==<br />
[[Image:Earl Willhelm.jpg|left|220px|Earl Willhelm Buffalkill]]<br />
[[image:Heraldic_w_floral_sm.gif|20px|Willhelm]]illhelm began his career as a Knight in [[Aspar]], a region in the Duchy of the Berserk Bear, in the Realm of [[Asylon]]. He was appointed as [[Aspar|Earl of Aspar]] by Duke Græth Geg{{Executed}} following the fabled death of Lady Bucklefee Dundrave{{KIA}} in battle. He is a Visionary in the [[Cult of Bloodmoon]]. Earl Willhelm founded the [[In The Folds|Above The Fold]] newspaper as a way to create a common lore for the various peoples of [[Aspar]] and beyond. He is also a Collector in the [[Thesaurum Venari Guild]] where common adventurers are commissioned to gather unique and beautiful items that enhance their noble patrons' prestige.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[image:Heraldic_w_floral_sm.gif|20px|Willhelm]]illhelm has commanded a number of units, including a Harem of female bodyguards. He later raised an infantry of approximately 40 men styled the Devil's Brigade and fought on the side of Asylon against the forces of [[ſanguis Astroism]]. The [[Sanguis Astroism|Evil Theocrats]] were defeated, but it was a Pyrric victory. All but two of the Devil's Brigade ſoldiers were killed and Willhelm was ſeriously wounded at a battle in ſhuberstone. Also his longtime friend and lord, Lady Bucklefee Dundrave was ſtruck down, leaving the ſecond largest region in Asylon without a lord. Willhelm agreed to take up the lordship of Aspar, lest the region be plunged into anarchy and destabilize the realm, perhaps the [[Dwilight|continent]]. Willhelm filled the ranks of the Devil's Brigade with fresh recruits from the recruitment centre in Via before embarking on an ill-fated mission in the Traitor Realm of [[Phantaria]]. Whilst conducting routine land ſurveys in Phantaria, Earl Willhelm received word that monsters had invaded Aspar. Willhelm led his men acroß [[Vassar|Vaßar]] to the edge of the Gonophor woodlands, which was, at that time, under the dominion of the Zuma Coalition, a treacherous wasteland inhabited by hordes of monsters and undead. Ignoring the remonstrations of his unit captain, Earl Willhelm ordered the Devil's Brigade to croß Gonophor into Aspar. The men, who were mostly young and untested, were promptly dismembered, eaten, shat out, and eaten again by monsters, however Willhelm ſomehow escaped without injury and probably without ever drawing his ſword. Following that humiliating defeat, Willhelm recruited a replacement infantry unit ſtyled the Black Devils. The Black Devils were later set up as a regional militia to protect [[Walefishire]] during the Great Dwilight War for Religious Freedom, and raised a special forces unit styled the Freedom Fighters of Bedlam.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[image:Heraldic_w_floral_sm.gif|20px|Willhelm]]illhelm stood for election as Treasury Logothete. The incumbent Wulfric Lucifer would eventually win re-election, but Willhelm's greater purpose of giving the nobles a choice was served. Some time later, Willhelm again found himself risking the lives of his men by single-handedly staging an attack on the capital of Astrum. He was captured before having a chance to draw his sword and his men joined Astrum rather than face the dungeons. Upon his return to the Asylonian capital, Willhelm was asked by the king to take up the lordship of [[Kybcyell]], which he dutifully accepted. Soon enough Willhelm was called back to the front lines in the Great Dwilight War to fight Astrum. Just as the behemoth seemed ready to fall, the island of Dwilight became plagued by an invasion of monsters and undead. Massive hordes ran rampant across the regions of Asylon, and the war effort was suspended in order to eliminate the enemy within.<br />
<br />
=={{KIA}}Xerxes==<br />
[[Image:Xerxes Buffalkill.jpg|right|220px|Count Xerxes Buffalkill]]<br />
[[image:X_1_sm.gif|20px|Xerxes Buffalkill]]erxes Buffalkill began his career as a [[ſaradic|Knight of ſaradic]] in the [[Hawthorne|Realm of Hawthorne]]. [[Ap Gaenvan Family|His Majesty King Azreal ap Gaenvan]] offered him the lordship [[Agnilar]] after Xerxes distinguished himself in battle against the [[Heorot|Viking Realm of Heorot]]. Xerxes holds the rank of Acolyte in the [[Darkanism|Church of Darkanism]]. [[Ap Gaenvan Family|His Majesty King Azreal ap Gaenvan]] appointed Xerxes as Marshal of the Hawthorne Grand Company Army to put down a rebellion started under erstwhile Royal Marshal of Lyonesse Flint Camacho. The rebellion was handily put down by loyalist forces and the rebel leaders were chased out of Lyonesse. Xerxes subsequently was given a field promotion to the position of Royal Marshal of Lyonesse. His life was tragically cut short after deciding to personally lead his men into battle against the [[Barony of Makar]].<br />
<br />
==Ethelred==<br />
[[image:Decorateive E.gif|20px|Ethelred]]thelred began his career on the island of [[Beluaterra]] in the realm of [[Kindara]]. Upon learning of the [[Buffalkill Family/Death of Xerxes|death of Xerxes]], however, he boarded a ship to [[Atamara]] to pay homage to his hero cousin on behalf of all the Buffalkills.<br />
<br />
Ethelred found [[Atamara]] starkly different from the realm described in his cousin's letters. The realm was ruled by an insane brother and sister, and their [[Sir Glitterhoof|pet goat]]. King Azreal, the distinguished founder of [[Lyonesse]] was inexplicably absent. Nevertheless Ethelred believed it was his duty to honour his dead cousin and swear fealty to the reigning monarch. By then Queen Raziella was in the advanced stages of syphilis with onset megalomania, and behaving erratically. Support for Lyonesse was evapourating quickly as she alienated all of its allies and provoked armed conflict with the behemoth realm [[Darka]]. <br />
<br />
This marked the beginning of the end for Lyonesse. Darka made short work of Lyonesse, taking control of the capital in [[Hawthorne]] and leaving the fledgling realm to just [[Sale]] and [[Wispen]], two frozen backwater regions that no other realm wanted. Even then, Ethelred and a few other faithful nobles hoped against hope that they could rebuild the shattered kingdom. Then the ice daemons came. It was a wall of coldness slowly advancing from the northern sea and encasing the northern regions.<br />
<br />
It was then that Ethelred finally began to accept that [[Lyonesse]] was a doomed kingdom. He became disillusioned and despondent. The [[Lyonesse]] he had romanticized was a lie. He stood on the spot where his cousin had died for the last time, took a sip of top-shelf bloomoon juice, and poured the rest of the flagon into the ground. "I failed you Xerxes. Can you ever forgive me?"<br />

<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

Since the last update of this bulletin, the kingdom of Asylon has increased in size by 130%. We spent to have 8 regions and 2 duchies, up to 19 regions and 3 duchies. Although a fourth will be formed soon. This glorious geographical growth has brought us some problems, mainly in the production of food, self suffciciency as a kingdom, and efficient distribution between the regions and their ducal capital cities.<br />
<br />
To begin this new trade organization, we will learn where are all the shops within our realm.<br />

<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<div>[[image:Buffalkill_Castle.jpg|right|In The Folds Castle in Aspar]]<br />
{{LeftTOC}}<br />
[[image:Decorative_o_floral_sm.gif|30px|Once upon a time]]nce upon a time in a far-away constitutional monarchy, lived three triplet brothers from the Noble House of Buffalkill. Their names were Willhelm, Xerxes, and a bastard named Johan. Willhelm was the elder of the three, Xerxes was the cadet, and Johan the middle. The Brothers Buffalkill were known throughout the West Hills and were never ſeen apart. Until, that is, one day when their mother ſaid that ſhe had a terrible ſecret to tell them. Johan, the middle triplet, was a bastard. Willhelm and Xerxes immediately drew their ſwords and tried to ſtrike the interloper Johan down. But Johan was a deft ſwordsman, and he bettered his brothers. He disarmed them handily, but the baseborn brother could not bring himself to deliver the death blow. He ran off and ſwore never to return. Lady Buffalkill ſcolded the two highborn brothers for allowing the bastard to get away. ſhe told them that if Johan ſhould ever return, they must kill him to protect her honour.<br />
<br />
==Origin==<br />
[[image:Heraldic_t_sm.gif|20px|The]]he two main branches of House Buffalkill are the [[Dwilight]] Buffalkills and the [[Atamara]] Buffalkills. Willhelm is patriarch of the [[Dwilight]] Buffalkills and the most ſenior member of the family. Xerxes is the patriarch of the cadet branch of the family on [[Atamara]].<br />
<br />
==Willhelm==<br />
[[Image:Earl Willhelm.jpg|left|220px|Earl Willhelm Buffalkill]]<br />
[[image:Heraldic_w_floral_sm.gif|20px|Willhelm]]illhelm began his career as a Knight in [[Aspar]], a region in the Duchy of the Berserk Bear, in the Realm of [[Asylon]]. He was appointed as [[Aspar|Earl of Aspar]] by Duke Græth Geg following the fabled death of Lady Bucklefee Dundrave in battle. He is a Visionary in the [[Cult of Bloodmoon]]. Earl Willhelm founded the [[In The Folds|Above The Fold]] newspaper as a way to create a common lore for the various peoples of [[Aspar]] and beyond. He is also a Collector in the [[Thesaurum Venari Guild]] where common adventurers are commissioned to gather unique and beautiful items that enhance their noble patrons' prestige.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[image:Heraldic_w_floral_sm.gif|20px|Willhelm]]illhelm has commanded a number of units, including a Harem of female bodyguards. He later raised an infantry of approximately 40 men styled the Devil's Brigade and fought on the side of Asylon against the forces of [[ſanguis Astroism]]. The [[Sanguis Astroism|Evil Theocrats]] were defeated, but it was a Pyrric victory. All but two of the Devil's Brigade ſoldiers were killed and Willhelm was ſeriously wounded at a battle in ſhuberstone. Also his longtime friend and lord, Lady Bucklefee Dundrave was ſtruck down, leaving the ſecond largest region in Asylon without a lord. Willhelm agreed to take up the lordship of Aspar, lest the region be plunged into anarchy and destabilize the realm, perhaps the [[Dwilight|continent]]. Willhelm filled the ranks of the Devil's Brigade with fresh recruits from the recruitment centre in Via before embarking on an ill-fated mission in the Traitor Realm of [[Phantaria]]. Whilst conducting routine land ſurveys in Phantaria, Earl Willhelm received word that monsters had invaded Aspar. Willhelm led his men acroß [[Vassar|Vaßar]] to the edge of the Gonophor woodlands, which was, at that time, under the dominion of the Zuma Coalition, a treacherous wasteland inhabited by hordes of monsters and undead. Ignoring the remonstrations of his unit captain, Earl Willhelm ordered the Devil's Brigade to croß Gonophor into Aspar. The men, who were mostly young and untested, were promptly dismembered, eaten, shat out, and eaten again by monsters, however Willhelm ſomehow escaped without injury and probably without ever drawing his ſword. Following that humiliating defeat, Willhelm recruited a replacement infantry unit ſtyled the Black Devils. The Black Devils were later set up as a regional militia to protect [[Walefishire]] during the Great Dwilight War for Religious Freedom, and raised a special forces unit styled the Freedom Fighters of Bedlam.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[image:Heraldic_w_floral_sm.gif|20px|Willhelm]]illhelm stood for election as Treasury Logothete. The incumbent Wulfric Lucifer would eventually win re-election, but Willhelm's greater purpose of giving the nobles a choice was served. Some time later, Willhelm again found himself risking the lives of his men by single-handedly staging an attack on the capital of Astrum. He was captured before having a chance to draw his sword and his men joined Astrum rather than face the dungeons. Upon his return to the Asylonian capital, Willhelm was asked by the king to take up the lordship of [[Kybcyell]], which he dutifully accepted. Soon enough Willhelm was called back to the front lines in the Great Dwilight War to fight Astrum. Just as the behemoth seemed ready to fall, the island of Dwilight became plagued by an invasion of monsters and undead. Massive hordes ran rampant across the regions of Asylon, and the war effort was suspended in order to eliminate the enemy within.<br />
<br />
=={{KIA}}Xerxes==<br />
[[Image:Xerxes Buffalkill.jpg|right|220px|Count Xerxes Buffalkill]]<br />
[[image:X_1_sm.gif|20px|Xerxes Buffalkill]]erxes Buffalkill began his career as a [[ſaradic|Knight of ſaradic]] in the [[Hawthorne|Realm of Hawthorne]]. [[Ap Gaenvan Family|His Majesty King Azreal ap Gaenvan]] offered him the lordship [[Agnilar]] after Xerxes distinguished himself in battle against the [[Heorot|Viking Realm of Heorot]]. Xerxes holds the rank of Acolyte in the [[Darkanism|Church of Darkanism]]. [[Ap Gaenvan Family|His Majesty King Azreal ap Gaenvan]] appointed Xerxes as Marshal of the Hawthorne Grand Company Army to put down a rebellion started under erstwhile Royal Marshal of Lyonesse Flint Camacho. The rebellion was handily put down by loyalist forces and the rebel leaders were chased out of Lyonesse. Xerxes subsequently was given a field promotion to the position of Royal Marshal of Lyonesse. His life was tragically cut short after deciding to personally lead his men into battle against the [[Barony of Makar]].<br />
<br />
==Ethelred==<br />
[[image:Decorateive E.gif|20px|Ethelred]]thelred began his career on the island of [[Beluaterra]] in the realm of [[Kindara]]. Upon learning of the [[Buffalkill Family/Death of Xerxes|death of Xerxes]], however, he boarded a ship to [[Atamara]] to pay homage to his hero cousin on behalf of all the Buffalkills.<br />
<br />
Ethelred found [[Atamara]] starkly different from the realm described in his cousin's letters. The realm was ruled by an insane brother and sister, and their [[Sir Glitterhoof|pet goat]]. King Azreal, the distinguished founder of [[Lyonesse]] was inexplicably absent. Nevertheless Ethelred believed it was his duty to honour his dead cousin and swear fealty to the reigning monarch. By then Queen Raziella was in the advanced stages of syphilis with onset megalomania, and behaving erratically. Support for Lyonesse was evapourating quickly as she alienated all of its allies and provoked armed conflict with the behemoth realm [[Darka]]. <br />
<br />
This marked the beginning of the end for Lyonesse. Darka made short work of Lyonesse, taking control of the capital in [[Hawthorne]] and leaving the fledgling realm to just [[Sale]] and [[Wispen]], two frozen backwater regions that no other realm wanted. Even then, Ethelred and a few other faithful nobles hoped against hope that they could rebuild the shattered kingdom. Then the ice daemons came. It was a wall of coldness slowly advancing from the northern sea and encasing the northern regions.<br />
<br />
It was then that Ethelred finally began to accept that [[Lyonesse]] was a doomed kingdom. He became disillusioned and despondent. The [[Lyonesse]] he had romanticized was a lie. He stood on the spot where his cousin had died for the last time, took a sip of top-shelf bloomoon juice, and poured the rest of the flagon into the ground. "I failed you Xerxes. Can you ever forgive me?"<br />
<br />

[[File:Blade10.jpg|230px|thumb|left|'''[[Bloody Blade of Doom]]''']]<br />

<br />
It is a legitimate power struggle between Lords and the Council. If the Lords are looking after their food well, and making sure it gets sold, then they can argue that giving the Banker control is unnecessary. If, however, they are being negligent, and through this negligence the realm suffers, and if they then further refuse to cooperate when the Banker tries to right the situation, then arguably they deserve punishment.<br />
<br />
Totally IC power struggle and dynamics. There is no rule that says "you can do whatever you want with your region, this is OOC and protected by IR". <br />
<br />
Just like the IR says you can be active as much or little as you want. HOWEVER, higher positions require more commitment, an unspoken agreement when you take them on. This does not mean that you need to log in every day, but you DO need to do the job that your positions requires. And if not, you will, or at least SHOULD be called on it.<br />
<br />
And you just got called on it. <br />
<br />
Too many people just sit by quietly in BM (I know, as I am guilty of this in some instances as well), and then complain when their lack of participation is frowned upon. In this case, it sounds like you are actively not participating, and further not allowing others to do the job that you should be doing, and then complaining here when they apply the stick as an attempted second corrective measure.<br />

<br />
I'm not sure of the specifics, but Duke Khari Kye has joined Aslyon, leaving Farronite with a single city. I suppose so long as Farronite can continue as a one region realm it wouldn't be a realm merger, but it doesn't seem feasible.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
====[http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php?action=profile;u=8/ Indrik]====<br />
<br />
Per game mechanics, barring a bug, it is impossible to merge every region into another realm. You have to leave one city behind. What happened here is that every region of a realm merged with another realm, to the extent possible by mechanics. (Again excepting bug abuse.) The realms involved are friendly. They were in fact strong allies. The merger provides a big advantage in a war to the realm to which received the regions; economically, militarily, and geographically.<br />
<br />
What you have here are two regions who have historically been strong friends and allies. They are both strong, viable realms. Neither one is under any obvious external pressure or duress. The action taken merges the two realms, providing a large and obvious advantage to the realm that received the regions. The realms were merged to the maximum extent possible, limited by game mechanics. The remaining region is a city that cannot feed itself, and can only exist by receiving food from the realm to which all its regions moved. <br />
<br />
Whether or not there were any IC reasons for the merger is irrelevant. This is an ooc rule which limits the actions of players for ooc reasons. (Besides, anyone with two braincells to rub together can always come with an IC reason to do anything they want. )<br />
<br />
Imo, this violates the realm merger rule to the maximum extent possible without deliberate exploitation of a bug. Even if the player that did it did not intend it that way, That's how it ended up.<br />
<br />
====[http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php?action=profile;u=90/ Glaumring the Fox]====<br />
<br />
I dont think Asylon and the Farronite nobles should be punished for the actions of one noble. I dont actually see that any of us have done any wrong except step on Astrum.<br />
<br />
Perhaps the ability for Duchies to seperate and join other realms should be taken out if it causes so many problems, or perhaps only a certain amount of duchies can cede at a time. We didnt write the code or make the rules but it seems when it benefits Astrum there is no issue, let us not forget Kabrinskias realm merger.<br />
<br />
====[http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php?action=profile;u=121/ Stabbity]====<br />
<br />
This case is identical the switching of allegiance of the Duchy of Sun Hall which was the prelude, and is discussed in this point. A duchy containing all but two regions (a stronghold and a mountain) changed allegiance to Luria Nova from Solaria. Nothing was found wrong with this, which is damned near identical to what just happened. The only reason a case was opened is because a bug was in place that allowed the final duchy of Solaria to change allegiance, which was declared a realm merger. My point is, if Sunhall leaving Solaria wasn't a realm merger, then the recent FR duchy leaving FR for Asylon isn't one either.<br />
<br />
====[http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php?action=profile;u=492/ Penchant]====<br />
Tom's post in the Solari and Luria Nova realm merger thread states:<br />
<br />
{|class="wikitable" <br />
| colspan="1"; text-align:left; font-weight:bold;" | A "friendly realm merger" does not require a precise definition of every word. What I intend by those words is that I don't want realm A and realm B to sit together and say "hey, as one realm we would have better game mechanics on our side" or whatever, and then simply join up.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Duchess Khari decided she didn't want to be a part of FR anymore, not the rulers simply agreeing to merge, thus this is not a realm merger.<br />
<br />
====[http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php?action=profile;u=90/ Glaumring the Fox]====<br />
What happened with FR and Asylon is a duchy merger not a realm merger. If you want to prevent duchies from merging then restrict the size of duchies or what or how duchies merge.<br />
<br />
====[http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2845/ Buffalkill]====<br />
I was looking through some of the past magistrate cases and I came across this post from Tom, which I think is instructive. I think that whatever arguments you can make to construe this as a violation, it's sufficiently ambiguous that the case should be dropped.<br />
{|class="wikitable" <br />
| colspan="1"; text-align:left; font-weight:bold;" | [http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1/ Tom]: If I may inject, because this is already taking way too long.<br />
<br />
We are bickering over details.<br />
<br />
A "friendly realm merger" does not require a precise definition of every word. What I intend by those words is that I don't want realm A and realm B to sit together and say "hey, as one realm we would have better game mechanics on our side" or whatever, and then simply join up.<br />
<br />
What happened here was NOT the scenario I see as a "friendly realm merger", because it was not an agreed act of cooperation between two parties. You can discuss the "friendly" part if you want, but there wasn't a merger. Whatever you call it, and it sure is a strange event, but it's not the event I ruled disallowed.<br />
<br />
Moreover, that real question is, which part of the Social Contract was broken. If we can not spot one without lots of arguing, then we can not assume that the players should have.<br />
<br />
That is what I meant a while ago when I said cases should be handled a lot faster because unless they are fairly obvious, we can't expect the players to have seen their acts as violations. If it takes a week of deliberation between half a dozen Magistrates to determine whether or not... - how can we expect the players to come to a sane conclusion?<br />
<br />
I'm almost ready to make a ruling that says if the Magistrates can't clearly say "guilty" within a few days, then he's innocent. Mostly so the whole game doesn't get bogged down in rules-lawyering. If that means we let a few people go without punishment, that's fine with me. I'd rather improve the rules than try hard to get every last one of them.<br />

It is a legitimate power struggle between Lords and the Council. If the Lords are looking after their food well, and making sure it gets sold, then they can argue that giving the Banker control is unnecessary. If, however, they are being negligent, and through this negligence the realm suffers, and if they then further refuse to cooperate when the Banker tries to right the situation, then arguably they deserve punishment.<br />
<br />
Totally IC power struggle and dynamics. There is no rule that says "you can do whatever you want with your region, this is OOC and protected by IR". <br />
<br />
Just like the IR says you can be active as much or little as you want. HOWEVER, higher positions require more commitment, an unspoken agreement when you take them on. This does not mean that you need to log in every day, but you DO need to do the job that your positions requires. And if not, you will, or at least SHOULD be called on it.<br />
<br />
And you just got called on it. <br />
<br />
Too many people just sit by quietly in BM (I know, as I am guilty of this in some instances as well), and then complain when their lack of participation is frowned upon. In this case, it sounds like you are actively not participating, and further not allowing others to do the job that you should be doing, and then complaining here when they apply the stick as an attempted second corrective measure.<br />

<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<span style="color:#008000">'''Yaratma Yenileme Bozulmasını'''</span><br />
<br />
Asylon is a realm of idealism seeking to bring forth the restoration of what was once the strongest territory of [[Dwilight]]. Built on the ashes of the great [[Dwilight/The Far West/The Ancient History of the Echiur Dynasty | Ancient Echiur Dynasty]], a land that has been ravished by monsters and undead alike now welcome the authority and protection of Asylon. Located in the western hill region of the [[Dwilight/The Far West | Far West]], the city of [[Via]] stands as new the capital of Asylon, a beacon of hope to the surrounding regions still terrorized by religious zealots, vile beasts and the unholy dead. Asylon marches forth under the motto of "''Yaratma''" Create, "''Yenileme''" Restore, and "''Bozulmasını''" Preserve we seek to resurrect this once dead land. <br />
<br />
==History of Asylon==<br />
<br />
=== Early history ===<br />
<br />
The dream of Asylon began in [[Caerwyn]] in ages past. Intrepid explorers and nobles of like mind gathered within the republic and planned to one day found a new kingdom in the city of [[Echiur]]. Long abandoned and overrun by foul beasts. They headed out into the wilds of Dwilight and made that dream come true.<br />
<br />
The kingdom was founded with aid from the Elements. Priest Graeth Geg spent several months spreading the word of [[Verdis Elementum]] among the people of Echiur with great success, building one of the largest temples on the continent. When most of the city had converted, the rest of the Asylon expedition was informed to begin their trek from [[Golden Farrow]]. Priest Graeth convinced the population that it was in their best interest to return to noble rule and in doing so founded the realm of Asylon and quickly transferred power to Cleon Cullom. The kingdoms first ruler was Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon Cullom]] and he served with honour and cultivated the kingdom in its infancy and insured that it would grow strong. <br />
<br />
The original 6 founders of Asylon were Emperor [[Cullom Family#Cleon Cullom|Cleon]], Imperial Strategos Hengist, High Magestrate Gladia, Treasury Logothete Maerwynn, Lady Moria, and Priest Graeth Geg. <br />
<br />
Then a time came when across the vast land a group of people with a history and culture different than the Asylonians and Caerwynian started moving, fleeing across the vast land of Dwilight as refugees. The [[Thulsoma]] were not of the Verdis Elementum faith. They hailed from the eastern continent and worshiped the stars of [[Sanguis Astroism]] and for reasons of persecution in their original kingdom they fled as far away from the east lands that they could and hearing of Asylon they made their way there.<br />
<br />
=== Era of immigrants: First wave ===<br />
<br />
They were led by [[Apasurain Family/Glaumring|Glaumring Apasurian]] the Thulsoma founder and once king of the Thulsoman land. He brought with him 6 nobles and there they entered Asylon and were welcomed as equals. Yet, a strange thing occurred and the emperor became withdrawn, he was silent and the kingdom for long stretches was a place without communication. It was then when Lord Glaumring Viscount of Vakreno Heaps seized power in a coupe consisting of Thulsomans and many of the original colonists, when Priest Geg convinced the masses in Echiur to reject the rule of Emperor Cleon. Graeth Geg once again handed over power of the realm to another, King Glauming, who hence reformed the kingdom into a monarchy and changed many of the laws and made the kingdom a monarchy. His rule was controversial and the republic of Caerwyn would not speak nor recognize his rule. The kingdom was at many instances threatened with destruction. For Glaumring and the Thulsomans were Astroists and considered repugnant by the Caerwyn republic. All was dark in this time. Glaumring tried his best to unite the kingdom and forge a new Asylonian nationalism. He served for a time and then stepped down to allow another to lead.<br />
<br />
King [[Igelfeld Family | Moritz Von Igelfield]] was crowned king on a fine day and he was a renowned and skilled Ambassador for Asylon. He was a gifted negotiator and worked closely with securing many treaties with the Zuma Daimons in the southlands and Caerwyn to the north. He also returned to Caerwyn at one point and secured a vast amount of gold and food for Asylon and returned a hero. He was of the Verdis faith and Caerwyn found favour with him and he served with less of the drama and shadowy pall that Lord Glaumring had held over him. It was under King Moritz that peace was signed with the Daimon [[Zuma]] Haktoo. King Moritz also upheld Asylon's tolerance of religion and allowed the foundation of a small temple to Sanguis Astroism in Vakreno Heaps. As King Mortiz served for a time and then when he felt, in the tradition of Asylonian kings he stepped down while still in his health and handed the crown to another.<br />
<br />
=== Era of expansion ===<br />
<br />
It was during this time that the northern republic of [[Caerwyn]] became more fundamentalist in its belief in Verdis Elementum and began to call out for war with the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism. They declared war on the theocracy of Astrum and war began across the world of Dwilight. Soon Morek and Corsanctum and Libero and Summerdale on the side of the Astroists with Averoth and Madina on the side of Verdis Elementum their long fued instigated by forces on both side threatened to tear the world apart. Asylon like others instead of rushing to aide Caerwyn, chose neutrality to better focus on the strength of their new small kingdom.<br />
<br />
Queen [[Zhoesya Adriddae]] came to power as an Astroist queen. Once again Asylon would switch between the religions and its balance maintained. During this time the Caerwyn single-handedly wages war against the Astroist Theocracies, while in the south, a civil war between Auravandil and Madina drew the attention of the neighboring realms. Eventually, the Republic of Caerwyn began to fold under the pressure of the combined armies of the Blood Stars. Duchess Sofia MacDuff decided to move the duchy of Via to the Kingdom of Asylon, while others who did not wish to join the Asylonian banner moved south to join Madina. Soon, the influence of Asylon spread north along the coast, eventually bringing the duchy of Itau into the realm after a protracted siege. At this point in time, Glaumring Aspasurain once more wore the Crown, and Asylon entered a time of maintenance as it adjusted to its expanded borders.<br />
<br />
After a tumultuous time in diplomatic relations, Glaumring stepped down once again and Lord Grimrog assumed the crown. His reign has been defined by the rapid expansion of Asylon and a solidification of the realm's power in Western Dwilight. Early in his reign the Terran Republic declared war against Astrum. After agreeing to help their allies and join the fray, both realms won some initial success. However, Terran Republic quickly bowed out after the first taste of failure, coupled with their more long-term inability to maintain military cohesion. Due to Astrum's strong political alliance with the other theocracies, Asylon, left to themselves, lost Wallershire and Vyanar to Astrum. With more losses in sight, peace was signed by Asylon ceding rights to those region to Astrum. Soon after Asylon signed an alliance with the militarily powerful realm of Aurvandil to the south, which also sought to upturn theocratic hegemony. When Terran decided to fall on the side of the opposing Sanguis Astroism realms, Asylon used this opportunity to repay their former allies for abandoning them during war. Not long after, the Terran Republic collapsed and Phantaria took its place, but not before Asylon grabbed Inklen and their neighbors, the newly formed Farronite Replublic (formerly Kabrinskia), Faithill and Lavendrow. Phantaria quickly sued for peace, while Aurvandil was swallowed by the south.<br />
<br />
Time passed and the Astrum colony of Niselur to the north grew in prominence. A schism in that realm spilled over into the general structure of Sanguis Astroism. Niselur turned to Asylon for help, as they were known enemies of the theocrats. Asylon once again joined in war against the theocracies, and the Farronite Republic, quick to distance themselves from the shadow of Kabrinskia also lent their support. Though militarily disjointed, the two realms of Asylon and Niselur received middling success. Even when suffering defeat in individual battles, the three realms gained an upper hand by dealing long lasting blows to Astrum's infrastructure. Regardless, a change in Farronite's leadership saw them signing a peace treaty with Astrum, strongly reminiscent of Terran's earlier dealings. Asylon and Niselur stayed the course, and Astrum lost more than half of their realm. Due to ongoing drought throughout the continent, Farronite Republic faced their own crisis, which lead to Duchess Kye changing the alliance of most of Farronite to Asylon's banner. With imminent defeat ahead, the theocrats signed peace treaty with Asylon, ceding the regions lost during the previous war as well as Walefishier, Dunnbrook, Granze and Knyazes.<br />
<br />
This same drought wreaked havoc on the realm of Phantaria to the south. Their leadership, seeing imminent disaster parceled out their regions to the realms of Asylon and Barca, with Asylon receiving Shoka and Vassar. This finally fulfilled the original charter for the colony of Asylon laid out in Caerwyn many years ago which delineated all regions surrounding the Shokan bay as Asylonian property.<br />
<br />
=== Asylon rising ===<br />
<br />
With the defeat of Astrum in the Great war of religious freedom and subsequent annexation of the Duchy of Mech and Farrow, Asylon was set to take its place as a great Dwilight power and had become a beacon among realms. Asylon's men and women had become accustomed to life at the rough-cut margins of civilization and even relished it. But even the most hardened, drunken, boorish Asylonian could not foretell the horrific plague that came next.<br />
<br />
=== Monster invasions ===<br />
<br />
It started suddenly and it quickly worsened. Monsters came over the mountains like locusts, out of the woods and in from the sea by the thousands. Vast hordes of vile, hirsute beasts smelling of shlt, vermin, and putrefaction; multiplying, killing peasants as well as each other and feeding on their guts, only stopping to copulate and vomit. They procreated at a faster rate than any other beasts known to Asylon's frontiersman, and the regions and duchies were in very short order overwhelmed by their spawn. The nobles would cede to the monsters. They planned their exodus. The wild west would be wild once again. At least until it becomes desolate. The monsters were too stupid to hunt, so after they eat every last piece of organic matter in their ken, they would likely just shrivel into dust. Whatever their fate, no human being would be around to see it.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Asylon is two seperate cultures [[Caerwyn]] and [[Thulsoma/Old_Thulsoma|Old Thulsoma]] (not to be confused with the Saxon Thulsoma that came later) joined together. It is of two seperate religions [[Verdis Elementum]] from the republic of Caerwyn and [[Sanguis Astroism]] hailing from the eastern continent of Dwilight. The people of [[Vakreno_Heaps|Vakreno Heaps]] are known to chew a strange fruit called [[Bloodmoon fruit]]. Asylon is the only kingdom on Dwilight to have made peace with the [[Zuma]] Daimons. Asylon allows the foundation and creation of any new religion and allows its nobles to worship whatever they choose, they may build a temple to their faith within their lands. Asylon is a secular state.<br />

<br />
== Template request ==<br />
<br />
[[Talk:Semantic_Wiki/Templates|Template request]] - an inline template to convert real life dates to BM dates would be useful. For example:<br />
<br />
; Syntax:<br />
: <tt>On <nowiki>{{BMdate|2014|03|08}}</nowiki> the monsters claimed Aspar.</tt><br />
<br />
; Produces: <br />
: <tt>On {{t|8 March 2014|day 5 year 30}} the monsters claimed Aspar.</tt> (note the actual date appears as hover text over the BM date)<br />
<br />
It would also be useful to include a "sortkey" for proper sorting when using the template in sortable tables.<br />
